Ahhh, ribbons in Paris. Will I ever do anything with all those saved white Chanel ribbons from my packages of long ago (pre-economic downturn)?

I remember your piece on bows. I notice that the Sonia Rykiel flat knitted bow is being copied on inexpensive cardigans this fall. Similar to those H&M sweaters that came out last spring.Bonjour, Sonia! :)Elizabeth

AND AS YOU ARE ASKING …..I AM WITH YOU…PERFUME AND TEA CUPS DO NOT MATCH AND SHOULD NOT BE TOGETHER..WE CAN WONDER ALSO HOW SOMEONE CAN BUY CHOCOLATE OR CANDIES IN A STORE LIKE CRACKER BARREL WHERE BAD CINNAMON CANDLES AND SCENTED PILLOWS SELLS WITH OLD FASHION CANDIES AND REGULAR MEALS AT THE TABLES NEARBY…

hope you're feeling better Carol! oh those horrid fall colds in NYC! lovely Penhaligon's post, but i would live and die by your French lunch post. like the latest a. bourdain Paris episode, i could visit it again and again.and so much easier on "la ligne" to cyber-consume vs. the real thing!

my london sw3 yummies post is up - and yes there is a penhaligons right there at the end of the "circuit". we aim to please!

Hello Carol!All Paris has its stamp of perfumes and fragrances in the perfume and food!!And what a coincidence in your previous post with the passion of the red mine from my post yesterday! I always enjoy to visit you, kisses, Gloria.

Looking at the gorgeous bottles on the cake stands, I had an idea: to create my own "vitrines" at home! If not actual window displays, it's still a fun idea to create a table display with stuff from the cupboards instead of relying on fresh flowers to add a dash of color and light. What do you think??

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
